Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a way to watch the same media on multiple devices without being affected by the time it takes to send and receive information between devices. This allows for smoother playback and improves the overall user experience.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the method according to the related art, because a communication delay time between media devices is not taken into account, media devices reproduce different media parts at a point in time.
This reduces the quality of user experience significantly.

Abstract

A media playback method and apparatus, and a recording medium for storing program sources of the method, and the media playback method of playing media in a media device in sync with at least one other media device are provided. The method includes determining a media playback time based on a communication delay time with each of other media devices with which a communication channel is established, generating a media playback command message for each of the other media devices based on the determined media playback time and the communication delay time with each of the other media devices, transmitting the media playback command message to the other corresponding media device, and performing media playback at the media playback time. The present invention has an advantage of playing back the same media in multiple media devices, synchronously.
